The After Hours Community Band of Saint Louis, Missouri, founded in 1986, provides the opportunity for amateur musicians to enjoy, once again , the pleasure of playing in a band. The membership of the AHCB represents a broad spectrum of backgrounds including nurses, educators, engineers, stay-at-home parents, students, and senior citizens. The AHCB has a strong sense of community purpose and provides free musical entertainment at civic, charitable, and community events. In particular, the AHCB performs frequently at Retirement Centers and Nursing Homes bringing musical entertainment to that special audience.
New members are always welcome as openings become available. Any concert band musician may join; there are no auditions or fees. Many members had not played their instruments in years but, through involvement in this organization, have rediscovered the enjoyment of playing in a fully instrumented concert band (brass, woodwinds, percussion).
